The political reactions were not long in coming. The hostage-taking in Travys (Transports Vallée de Joux Yverdon-les-Bains Sainte-Croix) which kept the North of Vaud in suspense this Thursday evening will have parliamentary repercussions. The Vaud UDC has announced that two of its elected officials will intervene under the federal dome, but also with the cantonal parliament. The party believes that the population “has the right to know the profile of people we welcome and their dangerousness”. On the left, the Socialist Party criticizes a “xenophobic reaction”.

The UDC national and municipal councilor in Sainte-Croix, Yvan Pahud, will submit an interpellation in Berne during the next parliamentary session to request explanations from the Federal Council on the path of the hostage taker and the measures implemented to supervise these applicants . “As a Sainte-Crix, I obviously feel concerned, because even if the attacker was obviously not based here, I cannot help but make the link with the problem of reception in our small region from the balcony of Jura-Nord Vaudois where we have three applicant centers.” In Lausanne, it is the president of the group of UDC deputies, Cédric Weissert, who will speak at the next session of the Grand Council, indicates the party in a press release published Friday late morning.
